My mail account was not functioning properly. My service provider suggested deleting my mail account and then creating a new account. I was assured the mail on my machine would not be lost. But it was lost. I had around 50 emails in my inbox that I was saving as reference - things I needed to have on hand. How can I retrieve these emails? All emails that I had in various folders 'on My Mac' were untouched; just the contents of the inbox disappeared.
Was the Account POP or iMAP?
I suspect it was POP & messages were set to be removed from the Server on download. :(
Do you have a Time Machine backup to Restore to/from?

Thank you. I appreciate your help. Yes, it is a POP account and I do have a Time Machine backup drive. My service provider also suggested changing my password for my mail account which I did. What will happen if I use Time Machine to restore my mail folder from March 10 when my password was different than it is now?
You should be OK to Restore, perhaps you'll have to redo the PW, not sure on that point.
